Built-in Visuals:Intel has built smart visual capabilities into the Intel® Core™ processor family to enable users and companies to better create, manage, share, and experience videos and photos. The result is a stunning, seamless visual experience, without the cost and power demands of an additional dedicated graphics card.

Intel® HD Graphics 2500 and 4000: Built-in performance for business graphics, with no extra hardware required. Significant 3D performance for an immersive user experience. Please refer to the Graphics Help Me Choose for further information.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 manages power and thermal headroom to optimize performance. It allocates extra processing power to match the workload of the applications that need it most. Plus, it identifies workload versus processor specification levels and automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency. With today’s compute-intensive applications and increased demand for encryption applications, this is a key technology that can improve productivity for both existing and future applications. Because Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 can match processor speeds to current requirements and reduce processor speed when less performance is needed, it can lower energy costs on all PCs and extend battery life on laptops.

Intel® Smart CacheIntel® Smart Cache is a multi-core, optimized cache that improves performance and efficiency by increasing the probability that each execution core of a multi-core processor can access data from a more efficient, higher-performance cache subsystem.By sharing L2 and L3 caches among each core based on the workload, Intel® Smart Cache allows each core to dynamically use up to 100 percent of available cache. When one core has minimal cache requirements, other cores can increase their percentage of cache, reducing cache misses and increasing performance.

Intel® Core™ vProThe Intel® Core™ vPro processor family is designed for easier PC management. It helps keep downtime and deskside visits to a minimum, enabling remote monitoring, diagnosis and repair of PCs — even highly secured systems with encrypted hard drives — and even if systems are shut down or the OS is unresponsive.
